BNSF 736 has actually stood the test of time pretty well, considering how faded some of the units now are. The unit came down on the Front Range Sub early this morning, second out.

Photo ID: 108983 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 19, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 417 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak If you look closely at the last two Superliner, you'll see the train has just crossed over from Main 3 to Main 2 at the Pecos Street crossover. When coal trains were "a dime a dozen" on the Moffat, you could almost always count on finding at least one, if not two, coal trains here on Main 1 and Main 2. The Pecos Street crossover was built to allow the mid-train helpers to be easily cut out of the coal loads. With coal having all but vanished from the Moffat, these tracks spend most days empty and silent. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Zephyr, just two miles west of Denver Union Station, has UP's North Yard on its left (right side of the picture) and BNSF's Denver intermodal yard, Rennicks, on its right (left side of the picture). A slew of JB Hunt trailers, among others, wait to either be loaded on a train, or picked up by a truck to proceed to their destinations. The track the Zephyr is on is the only track that is signaled and has CTC (and PTC) in this shot. All the other tracks are in "yard limits" and are not signaled.

The crew of the train is actually tying the train down on Main 1. The SUV to the right will take the crew back to the yard office. Typically, southbounds are tied down in the siding known as Hogan's Alley. However, as you can see, there is already a train tied down there. So, for the time being, Main 2 will the only track open in either direction between Walnut Street and South Denver. In the distance, Longs Peak stands tall at 14,259 feet above sea level.
